What is Black Seed Oil?

According to Oil Health Benefits, Black Seed Oil has strong medicinal benefits when used as part of a regular regimen. This highly concentrated oil is made up of tiny black colored seeds that are commonly called “black cumin” but are scientifically called nigella sativa.

It is dissimilar from popular natural hair oils like coconut and olive oil because it is an essential oil. Natural lifestyle enthusiasts call this the “cure for everything except death.”

When it is 100% pure, unrefined, and cold-pressed, black seed oil is sourced from Indian or Turkish seeds made up of powerful Nigellone, and Thymoquinone–two antihistamines.

Black Seed Oil benefits

Since it is anti-inflammatory, black seed oil is great when diluted with a carrier oil to soothe scalp conditions that cause inflammation, flakiness, and sensitivity. It also kills viruses and fungal infections, so those with lice can benefit. Like lavender, citrus, and rosemary essential oils, black seed oil is an adjuvant, meaning it works well with other ingredients to provide therapeutic effects. Put a few drops in a fragrance lamp or mist some on your pillow and linens to give you a restful, relaxing night. You may also put a few dabs of your diluted black seed oil to your temples to ease a headache and lower your blood pressure. Black seed oil is anti-rheumatic, so it is extremely effective in giving relief to joint issues that come with age and athleticism.
